White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies

My oldest child, The Musician, is competitive like no one else I know. He has to win. That's why I made these cookies....and yet, when I get to the end of the story, you may agree with me that it was the other guy who really won. It all started with one of those "my mother is better than your mother" banters. I can only be thankful it wasn't a "Yo mama" joke instead...right? Anyway. The guys bet each other that their mother would drive faster and get to our development before the other. I arrived to pick up my sons and they all piled in the car like there was a swarm of bees outside and started yelling at me to get going.

As I drove toward home, they started explaining that we were in a race with our friends. About halfway home, a car shot by us and the Musician got a text from his friend telling him we lost. Suddenly cookies are brought into the mix. "My mother will bake your mother cookies if she will slow down!" HUH?! Excuse me? I will what? "Okay, but they have to be white chocolate macadamia cookies." It's a darned good thing I am a (mostly) good sport. I must admit I did grumble for fifteen a minute.

I haven't tried white choc and macadamia but I know they are awesome. What if the overspeeding mum got a speeding ticket - would she have baked cookies for you and the cops? As your kids get older it will be "my mum makes better cocktails":)

These are some of my favorite cookies. I haven't made them in years though. I'm definitely making them for my Christmas gift baskets this season though! Yours look perfect and I bet they were delicious.

oh yeah, the music sometimes may seem sweeter but we know it's the harsh reality of life that rules and here I would beg the differ with you, your son's quickness won the game at your expense - good for him I say, and now, do not praise him mightily, but stand above him and be proud that leadership is in the making... well, maybe focus him toward your own beliefs of what is right... what the heck do I know...

I guess I shouldn't be smiling as big as I am, but I have to admit, if I had a cookie to choose, this would be it. Especially since it's so healthy, right? Wow, those look fantastic. Yeah, the other guy won (or at least his mom did).

this was a riot LOL... and I must say that's a sweet thing for these youngsters to have this sort of competition about "who's mom is better" that means they are proud of their mom! But be careful on getting a speeding ticket ;-)
